Proactive Health Management Through the Foods You Eat
This means having blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, weight and other important measures that are within normal ranges.
More than 1.9 billion adults 18 years and older are overweight. Of these, over 650 million are obese (World Health Organization). As a result, there has been a boom in weight management and fitness as consumers focus on proactive health maintenance. Consumers are interested in solutions that help support their vascular, blood glucose and heart health.
Connecting Food to Metabolic Health
Since metabolic health covers a broad range of factors, consumers want products they believe to be effective, backed by science, to meet their specific needs. Specialized products that aim to impact important attributes related to proper physiological and metabolic function are particularly in demand.
Metabolic health extends into our overall health and wellness, so as consumers become more educated about healthy living and holistic wellness they are looking to the food and beverage industry to deliver products to help them in their efforts.
